    Hi All!

    I am hosting PiBBS on the default telnet port (23) and, as you can imagine, I'm getting a lot of...shall we say...unwanted traffic. By default, Mystic is doing a pretty good job of banning the ones that are actively trying to brute-force the login.

    if you use raspian, you have fail2ban.

    Yeah I have both port 22 and 23 for mystic. Im getting rammed with logins.
    But what I did is:

    - Auto whitelist logged in users
    - Ban on 4 failed attemps in 2 minutes

    That seems to keep the bruteforces at a minimum. I do not like to change the port as I do not believe in security by obscurity.

    oP!
